whizbangthedirtfarmer:They were better written than most American fantasy, but they swung between fully-fleshed, real characters, cardboard cutouts, sex scenes, long descriptions of feasts, more sex scenes, and, oh, there's a few people getting killed.

Cythraul:This is one of my few complaints, the near constant need to show nudity by the director(s). I've even heard there were scenes of gratuitous nudity in the television series that weren't even written in the book. I don't think it's been toned down much in the second season, but the writing, acting, and direction are so well done, it becomes a minor issue that I can overlook.

Its the gratuitous nudity that is the problem. Not the beheadings, demons, burning soldiers, the incest, baby dragons burning mages alive ... no ... its that there is too much nudity.
